    Within the next couple weeks, I was thinking about putting out some trade offers of Bourbon County Stout and/or Barleywine for some hoppy Alpine beers. I tried searching this forum, as well as Alpine's website, but I couldn't find much info as to what Alpine beers are available when. Can someone provide some info as to hoppy beers they'll have available in early-December? Is there a set schedule, or is it pretty much whatever they want to put out?

    Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere!

    2. Schedule? Schedule?!? You aren't that familiar with Alpine, are you? :slight_smile:

    [You can pretty much assume they'll almost always have Duet, Nelson, and Pure Hoppiness, but there be times they are out.]

    All new beers or fresh batches are posted on Tuesdays on their Facebook page as Alpine does all their kegging and bottling on Monday. You can bet on Duet, Nelson, and Pure Hop, but sometimes they run out and there is much sadness and gnashing of teeth. Right now they have Obrien's IPA which they haven't done in quite some time. Don't imagine that will be around terribly long, and that is growler only.

    Your response was much more informative.

    Facebook blocked but Beer Advocate isn't? Interesting...

    My experience is that they almost always have at least 2 of 3 of Pure Hoppiness, Nelson or Duet, frequently all three. More often than not I find they are out of one of them.

    This is assuming you go to the brewery because Alpine is rarely available elsewhere unless you really want some Willy.

    Any other IPA they do isn't bottled other than Exponential, which isn't out right now.

    February, if they're keeping with tradition. Still remember 2011, where I went to Toronado at 10am and traded off between that and Pliny the Younger. A fine morning, with an equally fine nap after.

    Has anyone else heard rumors of alpine moving production to green flash?

    Was the guy I talked to full of shit or was there something of truth there?

    Yes.

    Only a few of their beers will be brewed there. I don't remember what they said about bottles, might be keg only. Check out the alpine updates thread.

    I'll be there on Friday, barring any unforseen circumstances. I hope to bring back some bottles and maybe a growler to the East Coast. I'll check out their FB page tomorrow and ask for suggestions from you guys on what to get.
